❓ FAQ

How do I lock apps with fingerprint?
Install AppLock Vault, set a PIN or pattern, then pick the apps to lock. If your phone has a fingerprint sensor, turn on fingerprint lock in settings and the app lock opens with your fingerprint.

Can I lock WhatsApp and other chat apps?
Yes — lock WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, SMS, email and any app on your phone. The applock guards them all with one password.

How do I hide photos in the photo vault?
Open the Vault tab and import pictures or videos from your gallery. Hidden photos are encrypted and only visible inside the vault.

What happens when someone enters the wrong password?
The intruder selfie feature quietly captures a photo with the front camera and saves it in the intruder log with the time and the app they tried to open.

Does the app lock keep working after a restart?
Yes. The app lock starts again automatically after a reboot and your locked apps stay protected.

What if I forget my PIN?
Set a rescue security question during setup — you can reset your PIN, pattern or password with it any time.

Why does the app lock need its permissions?
Usage access detects when a locked app opens, display-over-other-apps shows the lock screen over it, and the camera powers the intruder selfie and face unlock. Your data stays on your phone.
